I received yesterday. I am unable to post pictures because I am at work, and didn't have time to take any yesterday. Maybe Shelby will have some to post. If I have some time this weekend I will post some.

Anyway, I got a painting and some push pins. And a photo album with a picture postcard in it of someone's dog. Shelby said it was a 'memory worth saving'...it has a long message on the back, I can at least post that. Its to Tara in Big Sky, Montana from June of 1993.And ironically its from somone named Amy, it reads:"Whoops! I put it on [the dog's picture] upside down. Your dog says hello and woof![which is also upside down] to you. Any day now I'm sure I will be receiving a nice long letter from you, and just to increase the likelihood of that, I am sending you even more mail (it's like insurance- only it hasn't paid off yet). I went to the "Taste of Bloomington" art fair on the sqaure this weekend- like a small version of the one in Madison- it was fun and I bought some things, though not nearly as much as I wanted to buy. Tonight I'm going mountain biking for the first time! Next weekend it's home for Shelly's wedding- Then just 1 more week of work! ps. the picture was from 6-5-93 on the way to the island. Love Amy. WRITE!"
